Protests against what's perceived as corporate greed and economic mismanagement have been taking place around the world. Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in European cities. Police in Rome fired tear gas to disperse protesters, who'd smashed bank and shop windows. Some 70 people were reported injured. The protests were inspired by weeks of continuing anti-Wall Street demonstrations in North America. Marcus George is following events in Washington DC.
